UAE: Gold prices drop to one-month low

Gold costs slipped to an over one-month low on Thursday morning, as the dollar solidified and prospects of the US Federal Reserve going on with its forceful strategy fixing position burdened the zero-yielding bullion’s allure.

Spot gold fell 0.3 percent to $1,703.3 per ounce by 9.15am UAE time.

The Dubai Gold and Jewelry Group information showed 24K cost plunging by one-and-a-half dirham to Dh206.25 per gram at the kickoff of the business sectors on Thursday. While 22K, 21K and 18K were exchanging at Dh193.75, Dh185.0 and Dh158.5 per gram, individually.

Daniel McCarthy, a planner at DailyFX, said the gold cost has continued dropping as the implication of last week’s Jackson Hole conference keeps on being felt across resource classes.

Central bank Chair Jerome Powell last week said that the Federal Open Market Committee’s (FOMC) general concentrate right presently is to carry expansion back down to two percent.

“Obviously, this has been an ideal account for quite a while, however after the July FOMC meeting, the market seemed to confuse Powell’s comments as to the Fed’s objective rate being close to impartial,” he said.
